Well done to the goat in a straw hat on being re-elected to his safe seat by the populace of Hertford (and surrounding areas).

And congratulations on defeating those nasty left-wingers who had the audacity to suggest that those firefighters, police officers, doctors and nurses we've all been calling heroes this year deserve a pay rise at least in line with inflation.

But Mr Prisk, his Tory counterparts and the mysoginistic homophobes that they have struck a deal with surpassed even their snake-like lowness by actually CHEERING the fact that they denied these people who put their lives on the line for us this pay rise.

Thank you Mr Prisk for confirming that I can rely on you toeing the party line and remaining morally bankrupt as befits your party.

Hopefully the sound of your cheering last night will still be ringing in the ears of the Hertford & Stortford electorate at the next general election, although I doubt it will.

So, three cheers for Mark Prisk - one from each of the emergency services that he let down last night despite them being there for him at Westminster and the rest of us at Hertford, Manchester, London Bridge, Kensington and the rest of the UK.

I find sarcasm is generally wasted on vicious fascist Tories with no more right to live on god's clean earth than weasels.

It is better to confine comments to being disrespectful, rude and insulting (more satisfying and succinct). Also we have a chance of being the first "new" forum thread to be blocked if we can keep it up.

It's a shame the nasty left have to vent their spleen on this local discussion board. Their hatred for democracy runs deep. Mr Prisk isn't my choice, but calling the duly elected member for Hertford and Stortford names seems to be the standard we should expect from them.

At last, the truth is out. Policemen & woman, firefighters, doctors and nurses you have been denied a pay rise for the seventh consecutive year due to narcissism. Another local cheerer, Charles Walker, has confirmed that the amendment was voted down purely because it was tabled by Labour.

One person has made a comment - and you assume this person represents "The Left". It's unfortunate that some people like to make huge generalisations by referring (usually negatively) to "The Left" as if everyone who is not on "The Right" shares the same mindset and attitude. Both "The Right" and "The Left" are broad churches politically, with widely varying views. Some people express their political view intelligently and calmly, whilst others can be more direct. This is true of people with both Left and Right wing views. For every person on the "Nasty Left", there is another on the "Nasty Right". Wasn't it our own Prime Minister who lamented that her own party was seen as The Nasty Party?
